Chapter 930 Iron Guard Farce and Top-Secret Plan

The guards slowly stopped their movements, and the whole palace was in a dead silence. Zhang Meng stood proudly beside the altar, with his hands on his hips, smiling like a victorious general. Qiqi and Qing'er stood aside, with complicated eyes, as if they had not yet recovered from the scene just now.

"I knew that a smile could solve everything." Zhang Meng shook his head, as if he was enjoying a private performance. "Didn't you see? These iron guards have been 'conquered' by me!"

"What? How did you do that?" Qing'er was still a little shocked. "You're amazing. You can actually make them stop just by laughing?"

"This is not an ordinary laugh." Zhang Meng patted his chest with a proud look, "This is the way of laughing that my ancestors passed down. It is very effective. I heard that it can make the enemy instantly fall into self-doubt, especially when they have never seen this kind of 'performance' before."

"Performance?" Qiqi couldn't help but sigh, "Are you sure this is a performance and not just your bored self-entertainment?"

"You don't understand." Zhang Meng waved his hand. "This is a humor technique I developed after years of research. Look, these guards were confused by my laughter. Now they dare not move at all!"

Qing'er and Qiqi looked at each other and suddenly felt that Zhang Meng was really a "genius". Although they did not fully understand, the situation was temporarily under control.

"Well, in that case, we don't have to fight anymore." Qing'er said softly, "But your laughter just now was really too scary..."

"I'm scary just like that!" Zhang Meng smiled and spread his hands. "I can't help it. My smile has a lethality. If I don't smile, it's fine. But once I smile, the enemy will be powerless to resist!"

Qiqi waved his hand and said, "Stop bragging. Let's first see what secrets this palace has."

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at the crystal, look at the altar." Zhang Meng slapped his head, "I almost forgot, we came here to find the crystal, we can't waste time here."

Following the steps of several people, the Iron Guards gradually returned to normal. Although they did not actively attack, they were obviously highly alert to Zhang Meng.

Qing'er walked towards the altar and carefully observed the ancient runes on it. Her brows furrowed slightly: "These runes seem to be some kind of ancient seals, some of which we have never seen before."

"Seal?" Zhang Meng's eyes widened. "Seal what? I bet there must be gold, silver and treasures inside!"

Qing'er ignored Zhang Meng and continued to study carefully: "No, these runes should be the seal of some powerful existence, and this palace itself does not look like it is used to store treasures."

"What does the seal seal?" Qiqi interrupted and asked, "Isn't it to seal ghosts or demons?"

Qing'er sighed: "It's probably not a ghost, but a more complex existence. This altar has some deep connection, and the power of the seal should be related to this crystal."

Zhang Meng was confused, but he still insisted on his own idea: "I told you, gold, silver and treasures, it must be a treasure!"

At this moment, the crystal ball suddenly emitted a burst of light, attracting everyone's attention. The light shot out from the crystal ball like a dazzling laser, illuminating the entire palace.

"Is there something wrong with this crystal?" Qiqi asked puzzledly.

Qing'er also frowned: "There is nothing wrong with the crystal itself. It should be a key prop or some kind of trigger device."

Zhang Meng suddenly came over and said, "Trigger device? You mean, once this crystal is touched, it will open some mysterious door? Is there a lot of treasure inside?"

"You only think about the treasure?" Qing'er rolled her eyes at him. "The trigger device I mentioned should be the key to unlocking this seal. It's not what you think."

Just as several people were discussing, the light of the crystal ball gradually became brighter, the walls of the entire palace began to shake, and a dull sound came from the ground.

"What... is going on?" Qiqi's face changed. "Did something trigger?"

"No way! This crystal ball is just glowing, how is it possible..." Zhang Meng was about to say something when suddenly the whole palace shook, as if the ground had cracked, and everyone was thrown to the ground by the strong vibration.

"Run!" Qing'er reacted quickly, grabbed Qiqi and Zhang Meng, and ran towards the exit of the palace together.

However, the exit of the palace was suddenly blocked by a huge stone door, as if some mysterious force had suddenly locked it.

"We can't get out!" Zhang Meng shouted.

"Calm down! Look carefully at the structure here!" Qing'er suddenly stopped and looked around with sharp eyes. Suddenly, she pointed to a wall next to the altar: "There! That's the core of the seal!"

"You're right!" Zhang Meng slapped his thigh, "Hurry, we have to go there!"

However, the Iron Guards seemed to be prepared and rushed towards them, sweeping their spears across, and the atmosphere of battle broke out instantly.

"What I hate most is these iron guys!" Zhang Meng shouted, "Stop them!"

Qing'er and Qiqi didn't hesitate and started to attack. Qing'er quickly used her sword skills to repel several guards, while Qiqi summoned her magic shield to block several approaching guards.

"You two are really good at fighting." Zhang Meng looked at the battle next to him and couldn't help but sigh, "Your cooperation and tacit understanding are getting better and better!"

"Stop talking nonsense here! Go and trigger the seal!" Qing'er urged impatiently.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Zhang Meng was not willing to be outdone and rushed to the wall next to the altar.

Just as he was about to touch the wall, suddenly a dazzling light came from the wall, as if to swallow everything.

"Stand back!" Qing'er shouted and quickly grabbed Zhang Meng's arm.

"I'm fine! It's just a little light, it can't scare me!" Zhang Meng shouted, forcibly broke free from Qing'er's hand, and rushed towards the wall.

"You're crazy!" A hint of anxiety flashed in Qing'er's eyes.

However, Zhang Meng reached out and touched the runes on the wall without hesitation. As he touched it, the entire palace suddenly shook violently, and the runes on the walls and the ground lit up one after another, as if the whole world was being torn apart.

"What are you doing!" Qiqi shouted nervously.

However, Zhang Meng still firmly pressed the rune, with a smug smile on his face: "This is the moment when I control everything, haha!"

In an instant, a powerful force surged into Zhang Meng's body, as if the entire palace was running inside him, and the guards around him suddenly stopped moving, their eyes dull.

Qing'er and Qiqi stared at everything in front of them, shocked beyond words.

"I...I did it?" Zhang Meng looked incredulous. "I really did it?"

"You kid... are really crazy!" Qing'er's eyes widened, "How dare you touch the seal! You know, this is a huge risk!"

"It's okay! It's okay! Anyway, the result is good!" Zhang Meng laughed arrogantly, "Look, the seal has finally been broken!"

At this moment, the walls around the altar suddenly cracked open, and a passage appeared in front of everyone, as if leading to an unknown area.

"This time, I am the biggest winner!" Zhang Meng said proudly, and walked towards the passage without hesitation.

"You..." Qing'er suddenly felt overwhelmed and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really mad at you!"

Qiqi was completely speechless and could only follow Zhang Meng silently, "This guy is really unreasonable."
